I've got trouble with the tv out of my 9300GS. As i start to build my system, i spent a lot of hours to make it work cause none of the newer driver versions detect my tv. I've tried several configurations with twinview and only the tv pluged in, btw the tv is connected through a scart adaptor over a svideo cable to the svideo out of the board. Finally i got it working with the older 180.60 driver.
After the latest upgrade of my debian squeeze the driver module won't load anymore and X dies with the message "nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaShared". Unfortunately it's not possible to downgrade X.
All driver versions prior 190.18 i've tested won't load and all versions above doesn't find my tv. Mainly i need the system as VDR and a VDR without tv out is somewhat useless :/
Is there a possible solution in sight or any workaround known?

with the legacy driver i got tv out working again. but now none of the main apps (mythtv, mplayer) wanna start, cause the lack of libvdpau.so.1 of course. does anybody know how i can by-pass loading this library (but i assume it's not possible)

Thanks for reporting this issue. I haven't been able to reproduce it here... at first I thought perhaps it might have something to do with NTSC vs. PAL, but another user has reported similar problems with a North American TV...

thanks for reply!
I remeber, this was another unsuccessful try. by setting the "ConnectedMonitor" option i got the same strange behavior as Garthecho has. the mouse pointer is invisible, the tv-encoder will be detected but i got no signal at tv. If i set "HWCursor" to false i got the pointer back at least.

greetings

addition:
If i only set "CRT" at the relevant Options, the drive tries to bind the screen to "CRT-0" which fails and the monitor went blank.

Hi Barracuda_666. Looks like we have the same problem. Until this is fixed properly, I just wanted to point you to a somewhat complicated but functional workaround I posted elsewhere on the net to someone else with this issue.

The 185 branch doesn't support X.org 1.7, but the legacy branches do. If your card is supported by the legacy 173 branch (9500 GT should work) then you might want to give this a try for the time being.

The 185 branch does not support X.org 1.7. I'm not aware of any plans to support X.org 1.7 in the 185 branch, as the 195 branch supports X.org 1.7 and supports all GPUs supported by 185.

The 71, 96, and 173 legacy branches are still maintained to provide support for older GPUs. The 173 branch *should* support GeForce 9 series, but YMMV. Since this appears to be a regression in the driver, the 173 branch should work for now until the problem with the newer drivers and TV-out can be identified.

FWIW, I'm testing with a 9300GS at the moment. It's possible that the issue might be specific to some TVs, so I'll try a few other TVs. (Have you tested any other TVs?)
